           Summary: Make playbin use glsink when compositing is on
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

When the Composite extension is turned on, and a compositing manager used, Xv
emulation is usually poor. See the details at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200270

It would be nice for playbin to automatically use the OpenGL sink when the
screen is using a compositing manager. It can be detected using GTK+ 2.10's
gdk_screen_is_composited, or by checking for the EWMH hints, _NET_WM_CM_S0 (or
_NET_WM_CM_S1, etc.).

This would also mean moving the GL sink to -good (is there another bug opened
for that?).
